Vision and Values

Our Vision
To introduce Rio Tinto to the North American Nickel Market as the miner and partner of choice, while supporting local community and economic prosperity, and maintaining our environmentally responsible approach to mining— setting us apart from our competitors.

Sustainable Development
“Development that meets the needs of the present generation without undermining the capacity of the future generation to meet their needs.” 1987 Brundtland Commission Report

At Kennecott, our effort is focused on four areas that enable us to contribute to sustainable development:

Social Responsibility
Building strong relationships with our neighbors is essential to our business success. We actively participate with our local communities to build lasting and mutually beneficial partnerships, without creating dependencies that are characterized by mutual respect, active participation, and long-term commitment.

Economic Prosperity
We strive to enhance economic prosperity for our neighbors and surrounding communities by providing good jobs, competitive compensation, and skill development for all of our employees.

Environmental Stewardship
Excellence in environmental performance is critical to our business success. We are committed to producing metals in a safe, healthy, and environmentally responsible manner. We strive to adapt best practices in source-control technology and technical innovation to ensure we comply with all regulatory and company requirements.

Corporate Governance
We are committed to high standards of corporate governance and conduct our business with honesty, integrity, fairness, and transparency. We take a disciplined approach to the economic, social, and environmental aspects of all our activities. Consistent to this approach, we follow the principles outlined in the Rio Tinto statement of business practice – “The Way We Work.”
